What the press said about A Thousand Times:

“Spiky, rebellious rock 'n' roll delivered with no small degree of street smarts and style” – Clash Magazine

“The fight-back from the beaten generation starts here” – Daily Mirror

“Inspiring on every level. The frightening thing is how much they’ve already achieved independently. Most bands these days don’t even know their arses from their elbows, unless a record company guides them. The Spitfires however, have taken on the industry and shown them that the fire and spirit is alive and well amongst today’s youth and won’t be stopped.” – Metro

“Insurgent energy…demands and then holds your attention” – Shindig! Magazine[4/5]

"A Thousand Times manages not only to capture the band's momentum of the past year but expand their sound into new areas" - Vive Le Rock [8/10]

“A masterpiece, songwriting genius” – Original Rock [9/10]

"Early in their brief history The Spitfires were all-too easily written off as Jam copyists, yet this album proves they have an identity all of their own...a standout record that marks Billy Sullivan out as a special talent and The Spitfires as a band to watch...one of the records of 2016" - Modculture
